Either that, or they are getting the public aware in advance of a full-blown civil war.
A real civil war can happen only when there are military on both sides.
There is military only on one side, the other side has some paramilitaries like Auntifaz, BurnLootMurder, and the John Brown Gun Society but they are drugged out freaks who are absolutely no match whatsoever to the US military, all the other levels of LE including state, municipal, county and federal, and the countless thousands of armed Trump supporters.
